Browse through all of the Uncharted character costumes and cosplay guides. Naughty Dog’s globe-trotting treasure-hunting series began with Drake’s Fortune in 2007 and turned Nathan Drake, Elena Fisher, Chloe Frazer and Sam Drake into some of gaming’s most recognisable adventurers. Whether you want a rugged Nathan Drake Halloween costume, a Chloe Frazer outfit for a convention, or a quick Uncharted cosplay idea built from clothes you already own, every guide below breaks the look down into the pieces you can actually buy: henley shirts, shemagh scarves, shoulder holsters and worn-in jeans. Start with Nathan Drake or Chloe Frazer, then work through the rest of the cast — and pair your build with our boots and prop gun guides.
Nathan Drake is the face of Uncharted, and his look is the easiest in the series to build from ordinary clothes: a grey henley shirt, loose straight-leg jeans and a pair of Converse Chuck Taylors. Add the details that make it read as Nate — a shemagh scarf round the neck, a leather cuff on the wrist and a shoulder holster with a toy pistol. The Uncharted belt buckle is the finishing touch. Keep everything faded and lived-in; Nate always looks like he has been climbing ruins all week.
Chloe Frazer is the smooth-talking thief who steps up to lead in The Lost Legacy, and her outfit is all confidence: a plain v-neck tee, skinny jeans and lace-up combat boots, cinched with a leather belt. The details sell it — an arm guard, a weekender watch and her signature musical necklace. Add a gun holster and a matched dark wig, and keep the boots beaten-up rather than new. It is a versatile Uncharted costume that works as well off a shop shelf as it does on a convention floor.
Uncharted cosplay is really a wardrobe raid. The core pieces are ordinary clothes — a henley or v-neck tee, jeans and boots — so the character reads through the accessories: a shemagh, a leather cuff, an arm guard, a shoulder holster or a belt buckle. Layer those over a base outfit you already own, add a toy or foam sidearm rather than anything real, and check your venue’s prop rules before you travel. A little everyday wear suits the series better than anything box-fresh, so scuff the boots and do not over-press the shirt. Our boots and all costume titles guides cover the rest.
Everything people ask before building an Uncharted costume — what Nathan Drake actually wears, how to put together a Chloe Frazer outfit, where Elena Fisher and Sam Drake fit in, how to handle prop weapons safely, and how to do it for Halloween without spending a fortune.
Nathan Drake’s signature look is a grey henley shirt, loose straight-leg jeans and Converse Chuck Taylors, finished with a shemagh scarf, a leather cuff and a shoulder holster. Swap in the long-sleeve tee or add the Uncharted belt buckle and you have his other variants covered.
Build Chloe from a plain v-neck tee, skinny jeans and lace-up combat boots, then add a leather belt, a gun holster and her musical necklace. An arm guard and a matched dark wig finish the Uncharted: The Lost Legacy look.
Nathan Drake is the most recognisable and the easiest to shop for, while Chloe Frazer suits anyone after a sharper, more styled outfit. Elena Fisher is the simplest for a low-effort build, and Sam Drake works well as a duo partner for Nate.
Yes. Most Uncharted costumes are ordinary clothes at heart, so a henley or v-neck tee, a pair of jeans and boots you already own cover the base. The character then reads through cheap accessories like a shemagh, a leather cuff, an arm guard or a belt buckle.
No — use a toy, airsoft or foam pistol instead, and leave it holstered for photos. Check your event’s prop rules before you travel, and if weapons are banned, drop the sidearm and keep the outfit, the shemagh and the holster.
Yes. A Nathan Drake Halloween costume is quick to pull together and reads instantly thanks to the henley, jeans and scarf combination. Add a toy pistol and a shoulder holster if your venue allows props, or skip them and the outfit still works for a party.
Elena Fisher is the simplest: a long-sleeve grey shirt, jeans, a brown belt and boots, with a badge holder and holster as optional details. There is no unusual wig or armour, so most of it comes straight from a normal wardrobe.
A basic build from clothes you already own can cost almost nothing, while a full Nathan Drake or Chloe Frazer kit with the matching wig, holster and accessories typically runs from around $80 to $150 depending on the pieces you add.
Absolutely. Nathan Drake and Chloe Frazer make a strong pair, and Nathan and his brother Sam Drake are the classic duo from Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. Both builds share the same base of plain shirts, jeans and boots, so they are easy to co-ordinate.
Uncharted is an action-adventure series developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, beginning with Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune on PlayStation 3 in 2007. It follows Nathan Drake, a treasure hunter who claims descent from the explorer Sir Francis Drake, as he chases lost civilisations across the globe. The mainline run — Among Thieves (2009), Drake’s Deception (2011) and A Thief’s End (2016) — was joined by the standalone Uncharted: The Lost Legacy (2017), which hands the lead to Chloe Frazer. The series is famous for its cinematic set pieces and its cast of thieves, journalists and rivals, which is why it has become such a popular cosplay project.
